Gary Dodds was running for Congress in New Hampshire in 2006 when, out of nowhere, he became the saddest person in the history of the world. His campaign was low on funds, he had already spent double what he told his wife he'd spend, he'd taken out two mortgages (for renovations, mostly). He was broke and desperate. That's when he "disappeared" after a car crash in the snowy woods and was rescued 27 hours later, making him a Common Man and bringing in "campaign" cash.
Earlier this year, he was convicted in court of making this up — that he faked his own disappearance. And now he's been arrested again for violating bail conditions. This person's life makes us all want to drink, a lot.
